What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have taught many young people to drive. I know how much you want to take your first drive. We will get you on the road.as soon as you are ready.

I was the safety officer for my company when we were.adsigned work in Afghanistan. We were required to learn defensive driving under very stressful conditions. I learned many techniques that apply here as well. Learning to control anger when another.driver cut in front of my vechicle or drove very close behind me was very important.

We also learned what to in the event an accident occurred. Many people are put into a dangerous position because they.do not know what to do if they have accident.

We will discuss these topics and more. My staff.all took the course and some were involved in accidents but no one was seriously.hurt.
